So lets start this story with buying the 2017 silverado LTZ Z71 Jan 19th of this year. 34.5k miles on it. Drive it for another 1.7k miles and get a check engine light scan it myself and get codes p0300 and p050D... great probably lifters or something right? Take it to dealer they get same codes then tell me that 2 injectors in cylinders #4 and #6 are bad and need replaced. They say 1,100 for the injectors will take another week to get them in and replace.

 

Wait the week and get a call they replaced the injectors... started the truck... and per the service guy "something broke loose from bottom of engine". Wait another week, brings us to today, get a call that now I am getting an all new Engine. They found pitting in both cylinders 4 & 6 they say probably from the malfunctioning injectors. I ask about what he meant by "broke loose" and he just says they aren't 100% sure what happened but new Engine none the less. Now I get to wait another 2.5 weeks for engine to arrive and be replaced.

 

I am so very curious how a 36.1k mile truck can have that bad of a problem that the WHOLE ENGINE would need replaced lol. I'm glad I am no longer out any $ but still... its so curious.

Perhaps the bad injectors were dumping a ton of fuel into the cylinder which diluted the oil and caused bearing failure?

In the engine build world "let loose" ends in major damage and a non running truck.
Spun bearing collapse rings bent rods are not the same. He dont know what he is say is my guess.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case."

But you and I? We are not doing this.
